OPP officers from the Lanark County detachment are investigating a single motor vehicle collision on Highway 7 near the Village of Maberly in Tay Valley Township.
Police say at 6:01 a.m. on Monday officers responded to reports of an eastbound tractor-trailer blocking the highway after it crashed into a barrier in a construction zone. According to the officers on the scene, the driver sustained minor injuries.
Highway 7 is closed between Zealand Road in Central Frontenac Township and Maberly-Elphin Road in Tay Valley Township. Diversions are in place to help drivers get around the closure.
The OPP have notified the Ministry of the Environment due to a fuel spill. The trailer of the vehicle was carrying frozen food and presented no hazard.
Police say the highway is not expected to re-open until at least 1 p.m. Monday.
Police are advising drivers to expect delays and, if possible, to choose an alternate route.
